Checking out the features on Gooruze.com

For the most part it's focus seems to be online marketing, but as Real Estate "Webmasters" online marketing is huge part of what we are looking to improve upon, so might be cool.
I will update this post as I find out more however for now, I need to post this RealEstateWebmasters.gooruze.com to my blog in order to verify my RSS feed. We know one thing right away, they do have verification measures in place for their RSS feeds - but one has to wonder, what harm could someone possibly do by placing an RSS feed that was not theirs in a profile on a social networking website? Hmmmm
Incidentally, it is a little bare right now, but you can check out my profile at RealEstateWebmasters.gooruze.com

I created this post as part of the verification process for the blog feed, but still not showing up as verified - anyone with more experience with the platform know how to ping it or have them crawl the feed?
I checked this site out as well. I will join up in the morning. It seems like a good social netowrking site. I will try the RSS in the morning and see if it works for me.
Well, still no verification of my feed - but I did get a TON of spammy "friend" requests - Andy Beal, did you really want to be my friend, or was that an auto invite you sent me (I got three of them) - I responded, and asked you a question regarding the feed - no answer several days later - I really don't think that spamming members inboxes before they even have a chance to check out your system is a good way of retaining members. So far the experience with the system is less than positive, but I am going to poke around some more and see what I can see.
I have sent two requests to REW and still haven't gotten a response, so it seems it's not just Gooruze that doesn't respond to emails.

I do ask that before immersing yourself in the activities that will no doubt dramatically increase your online exposure such as blogging, creating static pages, adding listings and the like that you take the time to read our terms of service and the rules of blogging here at REW.
We are much different than most social media / blogging platforms in that we are a fully staffed and moderated system. Read More
